Whoever you are, when disaster strikes, you need help. Recently, a young mother with two toddlers lost nearly everything in a house fire. She and her children escaped the fire unharmed but with nothing except the pajamas they were wearing. As she watched their home burn, she feared for her small family. Had they just become homeless and alone?

It takes more than one resource to overcome a fire, loss of a job, or any other situation that could cause us to lose our footing. Who will be there when you need help? Who will you help today?
